Anti-platelet Medication after Stenting

Question

Asked for Male, 31 Years

My father got three stents in 2010 post MI. He has been taking atorvaststin-20, aspirin-75 and clopidrogel-75 since then. His platelet count is 1L and Hb is 11.4. Should we continue the dual anti platelets therapy considering the low platelets count? He also has heart failure and CKD along with diabetes.
